"A Senate committee voted yesterday to send the most important climate treaty in years to the floor for ratification.
Not a single Republican opposed it.
The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on a voice vote, meaning that support for the agreement was overwhelming. It’s unclear when a floor vote will be scheduled for the treaty, which governs the global phase down of climate superpollutants used in cooling and refrigeration.
Yet the tantalizing prospect of the Senate passing a major climate treaty raises questions about whether future climate bills could follow a similar path. Seventeen Republicans would have to vote to ratify the treaty."
